FAQ
Here are some of the questions we hear most. If something else is on your mind, reach out.
-
That's usually the first question, and it deserves a straight answer. If your situation has legal merit and falls within Rob's practice areas, he'll walk you through what comes next. If it doesn't, he'll tell you clearly and point you toward someone better suited to help. The goal is clarity, not billable hours.
-
For matters within Rob's regular practice areas, yes. The initial consultation is free and focused on whether he can help and whether it's a good fit.
For situations where you need honest legal guidance but not full representation, Rob also offers paid consultations billed by the hour. You'll leave with a real assessment and concrete next steps, not a sales pitch.
-
That's exactly what the first conversation is for. Whether you've just been served papers, need to protect your assets, or are trying to understand your options, Rob will help you figure out where you stand and what's realistic. You'll leave that conversation with a clear sense of next steps, even if those steps don't involve him.
-
Longer than most people expect, and Rob will tell you that upfront. During your first conversation he'll give you an honest timeline based on the nature of your issue, the court's schedule, and how other parties are likely to behave. No false promises, but consistent communication throughout.
-
Probably, and he'll tell you directly if he can't.
